The European Commission is looking to appoint an executive director at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The EU has a permanent seat on the 23-strong board and the vacancy has arisen because its representative for the last eight years, Vassili Lelakis, has left to be a member of the Commission’s Athens-based taskforce on the Greek economy.

The board sets the EBRD’s strategic direction on behalf of the bank’s shareholders, which are 64 countries plus the EU and the European Investment Bank.
